An animation of Voyager 2 flying by Saturn, made by Jim Blinn and Charles Kohlhase in the JPL Computer Graphics Lab. This is my attempt on reconstructing the animation. It is different than Ian Regan's reconstruction because I only used 2 clips, one which had slightly better quality while the other one was from his video.

These are some texture maps created and recovered by Jim Blinn for the Computer History Museum's "History of the JPL Computer Graphics Lab" project, which started in 2016 and is still in development as of July 2023. These texture maps were used in the animations produced in the lab, especially for the Voyager program. The texture maps can also be found in Jim Blinn's website .
